Human beings are profoundly shaped by our social environment, this wiring for connection governs us both consciously and unconsciously. Friendship is at the heart of this human experience. We suffer greatly when our social bonds are threatened or severed. More than ever, friendships are an essential part of life right now. Who have you been reaching for and who has been reaching for you?
We have prioritized romantic relationships in our society for so long, yet friendships offer us a kind of intimacy and connection that is unique and nourishing in its own right. The longing for belonging is our collective birthright. Let's explore this topic together.
Join Deborah Bagg for a lively series on adult friendship through the lens of Somatic Psychology.
These sessions will include meditation and contemplative practices. Rooted in Somatic Psychology, Attachment Theory and Buddhist Teachings.
